My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We adopted Jaxon from the Jackson County Animal Shelter July 5, 2018. When we got him our vet told us that he was between 3 and 4 years old, which would make him between 4 and 5 years old now. He is very playful and loves to chase small toys. He also likes to cuddle, especially at night when he sleeps. His only problem seems to be that he is sometimes very protective of the person that he is next to. For example, if my wife is sitting on the couch and Jaxon is next to her and I try to give her a kiss by bending over the back of the couch, he doesn't like that. He will growl and snarl at me, but two minutes later he will be wanting me to pet him and wag his tail. This behavior hasn't changed since we adopted him. We feel he needs a one owner home where there is no perceived threat from another person.
